What should I do if Jing Ye gets too long?

The reason why the night is long

To put it simply, leggy growth means that the leaves of the plant grow with large gaps between them and are not compact.

The biggest reason for excessive growth is lack of sunlight. When there is a lack of sunlight, the stems of succulent plants can only obtain more energy by increasing the area exposed to light. As a result, the plant becomes taller and the leaves spread out instead of standing up, making it look like a long and thin line.

How to prevent nightshade growth

The fundamental measure to control the growth of quiet night plants is to increase light and control the amount of watering.

Increasing the amount of light is an objective factor. Normally, we should let the plants get more sun exposure at night. However, if we encounter a rainy and dark day, we can only pray that the sun will return soon.

Regarding the amount of watering, watering cannot stop it from "growing", but it can inhibit its "growth". Watering needs to be done slowly to allow the plants to adapt slowly.

Fertilization should be done with more caution. If too much fertilizer is applied, it will only aggravate the excessive growth of the nightshade plant.

How to grow back the night elongation

Expose the plant to more sunlight and wait for the leaves under the quiet night plant to slowly fall off, forming an old stump.

After the nightshade grows too tall, it will easily grow into clusters and then give birth to cubs. You can look forward to the nightshade giving birth to cubs.
